First Year Experience Course
The First Year Experience Program offers a year long Freshman Seminar Course
that is taken in two parts:
- Part one of the Freshman Seminar Course – FYE 101 – introduces
the entering student to the University’s academic programs, general
education requirements, student handbook, university catalog, financial
aid, registration, and relevant policies and procedures. This course exposes
the first year student to the Grambling State University experience- its
rich heritage, traditions, and culture. Other topics covered in this course
include college survival skills such as goal setting, time management,
critical thinking, active learning, note taking, study skills, test taking,
communicating for results, and library usage.
- Part two of the Freshman Seminar Course – FYE 102 – offers
a continuation of the discussions on college survival skills. Topics covered
in this course include career exploration, computer skills (MS Word, Excel
and PowerPoint), building positive relationships, diversity and multicultural
appreciation, leadership, ethics and responsibility, stress management,
health and wellness, problem solving, and management of personal finances.
